Cyril Charles Bowman Bardsley (13 February 1870 – 20 December 1940) was an Anglican bishop in the first half of the 20th century.[1][2]
Baedsley was educated at Marlborough and New College, Oxford[3] and ordained in 1895.[4] His first post was as a curate at Huddersfield Parish Church.[5] He then held incumbencies at Nottingham and St Helen's, Merseyside.[6] He then became the secretary of the Church Missionary Society[7] until his ordination to the episcopate[8] as the Bishop of Peterborough in 1924.[9] In 1927, he was translated to be the first diocesan Bishop of Leicester in the modern era. Described in his Times obituary as “a pastoral Bishop who lived for nothing but to serve his Master and minister to his people”,[10] he died shortly after resigning his see.
